Mo Gilligan welcomed baby with fiancée Taia Tulher amid revelations of secret child

Mo Gilligan and his fiancée, Taia Tulher, are reported to have welcomed a baby over the summer, a development the couple has not publicly confirmed. The Sun cited a source close to the couple as saying the child was born “a few weeks ago” and that Gilligan and Tulher are keeping the baby’s gender and name private. The couple has not issued a public statement, and Daily Mail contacted Gilligan’s representatives for comment but did not receive a formal confirmation by press time. The report adds that Gilligan, 37, and Tulher, 28, are focusing on their privacy as they settle into parenthood.

The couple were seen attending the Labrum London show during London Fashion Week on Friday, with Tulher appearing without the visible baby bump she had shown in earlier Instagram posts this year. The appearance provided a rare public moment for the couple since news of their growing family began circulating in the spring. Friends and followers have circulated well-wishes in the comments of Tulher’s posts, though neither Gilligan nor Tulher has publicly commented on the baby. The Sun’s reporting notes that the couple are protecting their child’s identity while welcoming congratulations from their circle.

Taia Tulher’s friends publicly celebrated the impending motherhood and the couple’s new chapter in online posts, with several messages written in Portuguese praising her as a mother. Those comments appeared beneath Tulher’s social posts and were interpreted by some observers as informal confirmations from her inner circle about the family expansion. The posts and comments come as the couple continues to guard their privacy, with followers awaiting any official word about the child’s name or gender.

Taia first revealed she was pregnant in March in an Instagram post that shared a message about love and family. In a caption that referenced Mother’s Day, she wrote, "Today, I carry the love that made me, the love I’ve always known… and the love I’ve only just begun to understand. For a long time, I didn’t know when I would share this. But now feels right. Because today, on Mother’s Day, I get to celebrate my own mother - and the tiny soul who has already made me one, too." The post marked the public introduction of her pregnancy before the couple’s relationship became widely known. The Sun’s account notes that Gilligan and Tulher had not previously disclosed his paternity, though media speculation had circulated around a previous relationship.

Separately, reports that Gilligan had proposed to Tulher circulated in recent weeks, with observers noting a diamond ring seen in social media posts. The Daily Mail reported that Gilligan "went the full nine yards" in proposing, after about two years of dating, with friends describing the engagement as a natural step toward building a life together. No immediate wedding plans were disclosed, but insiders described the engagement as a sign of the couple moving forward. The engagement news has intersected with broader fan interest in the couple’s evolving family story.

Gilligan’s earlier paternity controversy also remains a factor in the public narrative around the comedian. Reports describe a son named Rudi born in January 2024 during his brief relationship with model Selina Christoforou. Christoforou publicly alleged that Gilligan had provided little support for their child, including in a viral TikTok video where she claimed she had counted on her own fingers and toes to describe the times Gilligan had been involved in his son’s life. In that account, she said Gilligan did not want to be a father and described limited contact. The Sun reported that Gilligan's representatives did not offer comment on the claims, and the controversy has persisted in entertainment coverage as he moves forward with his personal life.

Gilligan and Tulher reportedly live together in London and have been together for roughly two years. The timeline of this relationship and the baby’s arrival is being reported amid ongoing attention to Gilligan's public image and professional projects. The Sun’s reporting notes that while the couple are publicly quiet on the baby’s details, friends and family are said to be embracing the new chapter. The development adds another dimension to Gilligan’s public life as a performer and presenter in a competitive United Kingdom culture and entertainment landscape.

Public interest in Gilligan's personal life remains high as he balances fatherhood with ongoing work in television and other ventures. At press time, Gilligan's representatives had not issued a formal statement confirming the baby news, and the family has chosen to keep details private.
